[Cocko]

I won't be there but happy to offer up my 2.6kg KK gas bottle for the night (just swapped for a full one on the weekend so plenty to get through the night) if anyone wants to pick it up and drop it back to me in Rowville.

Legend, thank you muchly mate, but I am sure we will get through with out bothering you for such a minor thing, absolute respect though :beerbang:

Also, with Rowville being in a different time zone, it could get confusing to collect

Seriously though, thanks all the same.

I have a keg charger thingy but doesn't seem to work well, as in, it chews a little bulb just to refill to serving at times..... I blame Small Fry.

Anyway, cheers!

 

[pedleyr]

No drama, offer is open if circumstances require it! ******* jealous that I can't make it, third in a row that hasn't worked out for me... And this one had heaps of notice too.

Next time I hope to be able to manage the time zone differences better and make it along.

 

[Cocko]

Pedo, easy answer - xmas swap at yours. Sorted.

Please let us know the date and times etc.

You're a good man.

[My pokey tongue emoticon is wearing out atm LOL]


Seriously though, make the effort next one, always worth it from my experience. Look forward to a beer with you.

Cheers

 

[Yob]

I assume someone else is bringing gas? I think the bottle will be fine and I've got a shit ton of bulbs, but carting a bottle from keg to keg all day don't sound like fun..

Thanks for the offer pedleyr, pickup wouldn't be an issue but getting it back to you would be

 

[Cocko]

My bottle is dry, if I can get a chance to change it over, I will bring a freshy but can't see it happening.... will do my best, my be able to swing through Daves on the way.

I will bring the nanga adaptor thingy and all spare bulbs.

 

[pedleyr]

Yeah I imagine that driving wouldn't be an option on the evening!

Can always bring it back on the next day... I wouldn't be wanting it for a couple of days. Or if I placed an order for hops I could get 2 birds with one stone and come and grab it... If it is needed, don't worry as much about the logistics.

See how it pans out, chances are someone that's attending will bring one I imagine.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Ok, my eski will fit my stumpy and 2 more kegs.... DJ_L3Thal has centre seat - one left, if needed.

I will bring it and a few bags of ice [Frozen water] - Yob thinks we should be able to top up for serving from his gas supply during the day but if any one has a little KK bottle and ball lock.....

Anyway, Grainer, do you want the aisle seat for your DCC? - probably not an ice cold beer style but there if you want it?

Cheers

I'm bringing my 2.6kg, has 3 ball lock outlets already fitted and is a fresh bottle

 

[Cocko]

BOOM!

 

[Yob]

Continued getting things ready.. well.. at least planned this afternoon..



Worked out how to support the 200lt and the 120lt MT's



Did some long overdue tinkering to the fridge to good effect.. now if only I can stop drinking the swap kegs :lol:

:super:

 

[technobabble66]

You don't think 300-odd kilos of grain & water might push those metal feet down, unevenly, into your lawn?

Milling it all on Friday, I think there is another mill coming as well? (Memory says yes, though when and who elude me)

wont be set up there mate was just having a look at it, where it'll be set up is rock hard, I could plate the feet if I felt the need but dont rekon it'll be an issue *famous last words :lol:

The leading edge will have props fit as well, it'll be going nowhere

[Yob]

Gazebos.. Who's bringing one?

 

[RelaxedBrewer]

I can bring another mill....
I have not attached it to anything but have a sheet of ply with the right size hole cut.
Just need to hold the mill while milling. Also have not built and extra large hopper yet.

 

[Grainer]

I got a gazebo

Just make sure maticle is there to catch the mash tun when it fall's again.

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

What about if the ground gets soggy, Yob? :blink:

 

[Yob]

Well get Cocko to lay under it "at attention"
